About
Angelo Porreca is a distinguished urological surgeon and clinical researcher whose work spans robotic and minimally invasive surgery, with particular expertise in partial nephrectomy, radical prostatectomy, and the treatment of benign prostatic enlargement. He is perhaps best known as a principal investigator of the CLOCK randomized controlled trial, a landmark multicenter study comparing on- versus off-clamp approaches during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, which has generated multiple high-impact publications accumulating over 200 combined citations. His research has significantly advanced understanding of renal functional preservation and surgical decision-making in kidney cancer management. Porreca has also been a pioneer in integrating augmented reality (AR) technology into robotic urological surgery. His group's early-adoption studies on real-time AR guidance during radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy — collectively cited over 185 times — represent some of the field's foundational contributions to intraoperative navigation. Complementing this, his work demonstrating how multiparametric MRI can optimize nerve-sparing surgical planning (87 citations) has directly influenced prostate cancer operative strategies. Through multicenter collaborative networks such as the RECORD 2 Project, Porreca has further shaped evidence-based guidelines for minimally invasive renal surgery, cementing his reputation as an innovative leader in contemporary robotic urology.
